Resolution (somewhat) on the whole infection drama

So-- yesterday I (finally) received a call from the hospital about my cultures.

So it was staphylococcus Auereus but it wasn't methicillin-resistant. (It is not MRSA.)

This is GREAT news as the odds that the "Mangine Family Decolonizing" (or the MFD as I like to call it for short), are more likely to work.

I am headed back home tomorrow (Monday). The infection is currently gone, but the wound is still there. A few more days of wound care should do it once I get back.

I am so thankful for all the people who have really rallied around our family during this--
Jen Halverson, the Heartline folks, Kevin and Nikki Gainey, Brian Williams, the Stoners, DARLA GALLENTINE, Mary McClear, Cindy Brown, Deena Gilliam, Pam Markley... the list goes on and on. As always, the Crosspointe community took care of me. And while I missed my husband and kids like crazy-cakes, it was so good to be just engulfed by my Crosspointe family.

Thank you all for loving us well.
